A new study has been awarded funding to explore the underground hydrogen storage potential in the East Midlands. It will undertake a feasibility assessment of the East Midlands’ geology to evaluate its potential to host storage technologies, allowing expansion of Cadent’s proposed 100 per cent hydrogen pipeline. The study is the first of its kind in the region. More: https://lnkd.in/eu3cHPKV

The mainland of Great Britain is surrounded by over 11 000 miles of coastline. It is a very diverse coast in terms of both geology and geomorphology, ranging from the high chalk cliffs of Sussex to the flat expanses of The Wash and Morecambe Bay. Our GeoCoast data products offer anyone with assets or an interest in the coastline around Great Britain access to easy-to-use datasets linked to geohazard data. Allowing users to interpret potential interdependencies in terms of erosion, flooding, habitat and other vulnerabilities. BGS GeoCoast is a comprehensive GIS package of BGS datasets aimed at supporting and enhancing coastal management and adaptation 🌊 For more information, contact digitaldata@bgs.ac.uk.

Cave temperatures only fluctuate around one degree each year, reflecting the average external annual temperature very accurately. Stalagmites growing in caves may hold this temperature information within their chemistry for hundreds of thousands of years. BGS' Andi Smith explored the karstic caves of northern Spain as part of a NERC: Natural Environment Research Council funded project aimed at uncovering the secrets to creating a stalagmite palaeothermometer. https://lnkd.in/gY9WZmMM

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) have published figures showing that subsidence payouts for home insurance claims have increased in the second quarter of this year, rising by 12% to £60 million, which is the highest quarterly payout figure on record. Being aware of the potential hazard means you can adapt to, and mitigate subsidence. BGS has several datasets available to help assess the susceptibility of properties and postcodes to shrink-swell subsidence and other ground instability hazards.

Meet Alessandra Novellino, a remote sensing geoscientist at the British Geological Survey. Inspired by the movie Armageddon, he now uses satellite data to study natural hazards from space. His latest project, funded by the European Space Agency - ESA, will study the effect earthquakes have on occurrences of other natural hazards in the long-term. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eWmdUMNE
